The ambassador said in a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA) on Qatar National Day, that the diplomatic relations between the two countries have achieved, over 38 years, a remarkable development in all fields including trade, investment, energy and tourism, saying: Thailand and Qatar will continue to strengthen and deepen their ties in all fields under the aspirations of trust, respect as well as mutual and reciprocating interest which are what the two countries always hold on to for the past 38 years and many years to come.
He praised Qatar’s handling of the problems for the past year - with efficiency and strong determination of all government agencies, the livelihood of all residents and business confidence have been restored quickly after the diplomatic tension last year without much impact.
The ambassador said: “We have no doubt that Qatar is one of the countries that advance in all those areas. With continued development, unbeatable modernisation, high security assurance from external threats and exceptional peace within the country, Qatar can easily make herself a liveable second home for expatriates.”
He commended Qatar’s decision to abolish exit permit system which is another big step in assuring the security for the foreign workers.
He also noted that the National Day celebration helps develop a sense of unity and solidarity among the citizens and gives them a chance to appreciate their history, traditions and culture, pointing that the celebration of Qatar National Day this year will be a good opportunity for the whole country to, once again, show international community the strength, determination and wisdom of Qatar and the Qataris.
The ambassador, on behalf of the Thai community in Qatar, congratulated Qatar and its citizens on the National Day, wishing Qatar continued prosper and progress.
